HE DOES IT THROUGH LIFE
Let me tell you how God brings people into his house, how he speaks to them,
and how he saves them. He does it through life. The Lord builds his church
through the testimonies of light shining forth from those who love him. And
he’s able to do this not because these servants use the right methods, but
because they live the life.
Christ’s life produces light in homes, in neighborhoods, in cities, in
workplaces. How is this life obtained? It comes down to every saint living
right, beyond reproach, as examples of God’s mercy. Such servants deal
honestly, selflessly, with no dark part in them. They lead lives wholly devoted
to Jesus, and are ready to serve others at all times.
Paul speaks of servants who “knowest his will, and approvest the things that
are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; and art confident that
thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness”
(Romans 2: 18-19). Such saints as Paul describes are to be commended.
Let me give you an example of such light. Recently, the CEO of a company in New
York called our church. Pastor Neil took the call. The CEO told Pastor Neil
about two women from our church who work for him. He said they weren’t like
the others in his office. These two women were always courteous, smiling,
helpful to others, never complaining or backbiting. “There’s something
different about them,” he said. “I would like to meet with you to find out
what the difference is.”
These women were heavenly candlesticks, placed in their jobs by Jesus. And the
light they shone lit up the entire workplace. How? They had the life of Christ
in them. Their boss recognized it as something beyond what this world has to
offer.
That CEO was Jewish. Do you think he would have responded to an invitation to a
revival meeting? Would he have read a packet of materials produced by a church?
No, he would have tossed it all into “File 13” and never looked at it
again. This man responded to true light—a light born of lives hid in Christ,
and being lived out daily by two humble women.
We are only able to bring light to our communities as we are full of Christ’s
life ourselves. We have to live out the message we bring, if we are to preach it
with any power. God help us to remember that the light shines through in the
little things of life.
